Demagoguery

Demagoguery The hissing in the garden Wishing God's defeat Stalking the parameters of waiting prey We come like the break of day A litany of death about to play It's fatal hand here Clawed to the hilt, sordid best beware Our swords will fill the air With a morbid poetry born of despair Under the rule Black trees scratch red the fleeing sunset Mist clings tight to Elysian fields Now we hatch plans ripe for upset Enflame belfries, time to be revealed Diabology, no apology For a world upon her broken knees Diabology, spreading the disease Demons freed to spree And torture by decree of our demagoguery Nightmare-fuelled, bejewelled in scars Beneath the frozen stars Children of the dark, of the craft we are Deliciously grotesque Severe puzzle boxes bursting to be solved Not by any church absolved Firebrands thirsting to be involved In their ascent Thick thorns adorn a twisted halo For the fools and cruelly vain As cathedrals soar, our sisters lay low For the war-cry to roar back again Diabology, no apology For a world upon her broken knees Diabology, spreading the disease Demons freed to spree And torture by decree of our demagoguery What started as a whisper in the shadows of the night Has sharpened to a painful blister on the weathered heel of life And now our voices, like a knife, carve out our vicious plan And set our hooks in the hearts of man The moon writhes in her orbit And doused in blood she stirs The tides to rise and deep inside Her womb, her daughters purr Tonight the skies are spiteful The gates are wearing thin And through accruing torments shod Our hated reign begins again Poisonous, these words of power uttered back Engage the fatal mechanism and with that This virus inside us desires to be free Devotees whipped into a frenzy Of intoxication in celebration of sin Enchantment answers and dancers envy Puppet masters faster pulling the strings Diabology, no apology For a world upon her broken knees Diabology, spreading the disease Demons freed to spree And torture by decree of our demagoguery
